KARACHI: Pakistan’s automobile sector surged in sales during July 2025 compared to 2024, as passenger cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles collectively posted year-on-year growth. Data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA) shows Toyota and Honda models drove much of the market’s momentum.

In the 1300cc and above segment, Toyota boosted sales of Corolla, Yaris, and Cross to 2,418 units in July 2025, up from 1,106 units in July 2024. Honda increased Civic and City sales to 1,143 units, compared to 790 units last year. Hyundai also lifted volumes for Elantra and Sonata.

Suzuki inched up Swift sales to 522 units from 502 in the previous year.

Top Selling Cars in Pakistan:

In the 1000cc category, Suzuki Cultus sales jumped to 239 units from 96 last year, while Suzuki WagonR sales plunged to 25 units from 139 units in July 2024.

The SUV and pickup segment maintained strong upward momentum, with Toyota Fortuner and Hilux (IMVs) leading the pack by selling 919 units, up from 558 last year. Haval Sazgar also boosted its performance, raising sales to 1,079 units from 824 in July 2024.

Combined sales of passenger cars and SUVs/pickups in July 2025 reached 8,189 units, surpassing the 5,897 units sold in July 2024. Analysts credit the rebound to improved consumer sentiment, eased supply chain constraints, and a slight recovery in purchasing power due to more stable macroeconomic conditions.

Industry insiders, however, warn that the sector’s growth will rely on currency stability, clear import policies, and continued relief in financing rates.
